Test with svg as ReactComponent failed with React 19

[AlekseyManetov]

Describe the bug

When running a test that renders a component importing an SVG as a ReactComponent (e.g. import { ReactComponent as Logo } from './logo.svg';), the test fails with the following error:

A React Element from an older version of React was rendered. This is not supported. It can happen if:
- Multiple copies of the "react" package is used.
- A library pre-bundled an old copy of "react" or "react/jsx-runtime".
- A compiler tries to "inline" JSX instead of using the runtime.

If I render any other element (not the SVG), the test passes. This only happens when rendering the SVG as a ReactComponent.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new CRA app (npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript)
2. Use the following App.tsx:

   import React from 'react';
   import { ReactComponent as Logo } from './logo.svg';
   
   function App() {
     return <Logo />;
   }
   
   export default App;
   

3. Use the following App.test.tsx:

   import React from 'react';
   import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
   import App from './App';
   
   test('renders logo', () => {
     render(<App />);
   });
   

4. Run npm test

Expected behavior
The test should pass, and the SVG should be rendered without errors.

Actual behavior
The test fails

This is an issue for me as well. Did anyone find any solution for this?
